    Saving tonight, plunge tomorrow. I'd say never a dull moment, but it looks like it will be mostly dull, tomorrow, so I'll probably switch the solar off until teatime.

    I'm away from home this week and can't expect the others to adjust the settings on my Sofar, but I'll bump up export on my EcoFlow battery this evening and hopefully that'll make enough difference to earn a few points!

    No good for me, battery will be exporting 4-7pm, so will be empty by 7pm and we'll be drawing from the grid. Would need to be at least 152 Octopoints to break even vs exporting 4-7pm (on Flux)
